Quispel Quintet

The music of the international Quispel Quintet can be interpreted in the same way as the novels of Dutch author A. F. Th. van der Heijden. His protagonists, motifs, and plots inspired five instrumentalists who met in Vienna for a rendezvous. Their adventurous compositions and improvisations follow an unpredictable dramaturgy that leads through cool jazz realms and avant-garde chamber music grounds. The Quispel Quintet is made up of big names: Viennese saxophonist/clarinetist Leonhard Skorupa, American-born Dutchman Michael Moore (also saxophones/clarinet), Croatian cellist Asja Valcic, German bassist Robert Landfermann, and drummer Michael Vatcher, who commutes between the US and the Netherlands....

What they do together is sometimes very subtle and often intoxicating. Incidentally, their album is called “Dipsomania” – a historical term describing an insatiable craving for alcohol and drugs.“

Multiphonics Improvisers Orchestra & PATA MAGMA

Saxophonist and composer Norbert Stein creates a unique range of musical expression with his Pata music. Inspired by the pataphysics of writer Alfred Jary, he consistently takes his project into the realm of free music, which flows like a river, steadily but never hectically. With the cybernetic system PATA MAGMA, another place for musical encounters has now been created. The improvisational orchestra of the Multiphonics Festival draws its music from within itself and offers a wide spectrum of artistic encounters through diverse grouping possibilities. Like sonic magma, the ensemble allows Stein’s comprovisations to rise to the surface. PATA SIGNS is a leporello of seven graphic modules, created for a festival of expressive communication.
